Dr David Rosenberg of Wayne State’s Medical school recently found that an abnormal amount of the chemical glutamate in several regions of the brain was a factor in obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Rosenberg and a team of WSU researchers collaborated with the University of Michigan and University of Toronto Hospital for Sick Kids in Toronto in an independent study that was funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. Rosenberg was the principal investigator and all work was done at Wayne State.
